How we price a hog roast day
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Hambledon: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hambledon?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Hambledon?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Hambledon has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
